Located right underneath a HDB block at Bukit Merah facing Alexandra Village Food Centre is a traditional bakery with a lovely name called Love Confectionery.
It is so old school you will not find the trendiest of cakes here except some very nostalgic butter cream cakes coated with rainbow sprinklers, chocolate rice, peanut powder and almond flakes.
The bakery opens at 12 noon but on the day of my visit, I was an hour early. With a cup of avocado juice in hand, I waited an hour for them to pull up their shutters.
This bakery bakes some of the freshest butter cream cakes there is. The moment the shop opens, customers began streaming in, grabbing whatever they can lay their hands on. There is simply no opportunity for me to snap any photos of the cakes in the glass cabinet.
With only two trays of every item available, the cakes and pastries here are almost like limited edition. I am not sure if they have more at the back of the shop but from what I found out, they are usually sold out by 2pm.

I picked two pieces each of the chocolate rice, peanut powder and almond flakes cream cake. I did not get any of the rainbow sparklers cream cake as I could not jostle to that side of the glass cabinet. The cakes were reasonably priced at $1.50 per piece hence this box of happiness costs me only $9.
The OCD in me disapprove the way the cakes are arranged in the box. I cannot stand what I see so I had to start eating to not see this unbearable sight!
The texture of the cakes were so cottony soft. Indeed, I had difficulty picking them up with the tongs while at the shop. The cake itself and the cream are not too sweet so there is no guilt even if I had one too many.
In fact, out of the six pieces of cream cakes, I "took care" of four of them!
Even the design on the box is so retro looking. Unfortunately, it does not come with the pink ribbon to complete the look.
